APS NSW - Armidale & District Group December-January Newsleer 2011-12 page 1 GROUP INFORMATION The Armidale and District Group of APS---NSW started on 6th August, 1977 as the New England Group of the Society for Growing Australian . It has been running connuously since that me with a couple of name changes. We are a very friendly and helpful group who enjoy monthly forums and meengs, garden visits and field trips to help members enjoy the search for knowledge about our nave flora and our local environment. We range from raw beginners to others who have been gardening and researching for many years - all willing to share their knowledge.

Formal Meengs are held at 5.30pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Members are welcome to aend. Nave Plant and Garden Forums are held in the TAFE Library Seminar Room on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except June, July, December and January) from 7.30 – 9.30 where members talk about plants in flower from specimens displayed on the flower table and share informaon about gardening topics. The Forum is followed by a delicious supper and an interesng speaker. Old and new members, visitors and families, are very welcome at these Forums and on our oungs (see page 8 for details). Annual General Meeng is held in February. Solsce Funcon is held in June. This is usually a lunch and garden ramble at the home of one of our members. Wale Day Acvity is held on a day closest to 1 September. Christmas Party is held early in December at the home of one of our members. We also lead regular trips into the bush and the occasional weekend escape to the coast or elsewhere. We parcipate in St Peter’s Garden Tour in November each year, opening one of our gardens to the public and holding our Giant Annual Plant Sale. We hold a Market Stall each month in the Mall. Come along and say hello. Our members have also been acve in developing and maintaining the Nave Garden beds on the Arboretum. We welcome volunteers who would like to help. See p.8 for details.

APS NSW - Armidale & District Group December-January Newsleer 2011-12 page 2 Basket Swamp Naonal Park Text by Patrick Laher and images by Maria Hitchcock

Our Mole Staon weekend trip this year was to Basket Swamp, which is only 15min. from Tenterfield. The convoy that le the post office included Sarah Caldwell, Verna Aslin, Penelope Sinclair, Jean Mo and John Donnell, a local field naturalist. At the entrance to Basket Swamp, Jeff Robertson, a local farmer, joined us for morning tea. Adjacent to our picnic spot was one of many swamps in the Park, and in flower around the edge of the swamp was Grev. acanthifolia subsp. stenomera. Also in flower was Epacris obtusifolia in a much weer site. Philotheca myoporoides ssp. epilosus

Our final stop and late lunch was at The Desert. This area is dense heathland and because it doesn’t support tall trees perhaps that’s why it’s called The Desert. Anyway, that’s my guess! The area has a covering of course white quartz or granite over clay and was the most visually appealing as are most heathlands. Once again, Boronia microphylla in all its shades of pink was there as was a white B. algida. The peas were in flower (Dillwynia / Pultenaea) and Mirbelia rubifolia. Callistemon pallidus was just emerging with its yellow flower as was the only plant of Isopogon peolaris that we found. Stylidium graminifolium, Goodenia bellidifolia, Dampiera stricta and Petrophile canescens were also in flower at The Calytrix tetragona Desert. We noced a granite sheet on the other side of the swamp which appeared to be surrounded by white flowering shrubs. Aer a short drive and walk to the granite sheet, we were met by the white flowers of tea tree and a lovely wildflower garden composed of Kunzea obovata, Thelionema grande, Calytrix tetragona, various colour forms of Boronia microphylla, Brachyscome sturi, Utricularia and Wahlenbergia. Two plants not on John Hunter’s plant list was Philotheca myoporoides subsp. epilosus and Chloanthes parviflora. Another interesng plant of about 2m was Callitris oblonga subsp. parva.

Next on our list to visit was the spectacular Falls. There was plenty of water flowing over the falls due to the Stylidium graminifolium good rains experienced in the district. Some plants that caught our aenon were Podolobium ilicifolium, There were many other plants either in flower or that we Olearia covenyi, Bauera rubioides, Callistemon sieberi, recognised without flowers on a wonderful day spent in Prostanthera sp. (P. lasianthos ?) and a deep pink colour Basket Swamp. form of Ozothamnus diosmifolius amongst the more common white flowered plants.

Male and female flowers are usually carried on different plants. Female plants will produce colourful winged capsules without ferlisaon. Unferlised capsules have no seeds. We first encountered Dodonaea boroniifolia when we lived and worked in the Warrumbungle Naonal Park. A plant grew near where we lived and even aer 35 years we sll remember the bright red capsules covering the plant.

Myoporum bateae

Myoporum bateae is an upright shrub that, in our garden, has reached a height of three metres. The leaves are narrow, linear, scky and about 15 cenmetres long.

********************************* Chelsea Flower Show 2011 Text by John Nevin

It has been on our “bucket list” for some me to visit the Chelsea Flower Show. In rerement, we finally took the opportunity to do this as part of a European garden tour guided by Angus Stewart. Many such tours incorporate a day or two at Chelsea to experience the world’s Male flowers of Allocasuarina nana premier garden show. Sheoaks are wind pollinated so individually the male The show is run by the Royal Horcultural Society (RHS) flowers are a trifle inconspicuous.

The show is held in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the home of the Chelsea Pensioners. Essenally, this is a rerement home for about 300 disabled or old soldiers. It was established in 1682 by Charles II and occupies 66 acres of land by the Thames in central London. The first Chelsea Flower Show was held in 1913 and it has been held annually since – the centenary show will be held in about eighteen months. It is held in late Spring, at the end of May, and runs over five days. Aendance is limited to 150,000, so ckets are best purchased well in advance of a visit to London, or you could face the prospect of “sold out” and no Female flowers of Allocasuarina grampiana scalpers.

A small group of members met at the Arboretum on Sunday, 20th November at 1.00 pm. the party consisted of John Nevin (Leader), Patrick Laher and young Harrison, Brian and Rosalind Leslie and myself. Aer pooling cars we drove to Uralla where we met up with Thelma Dennis who joined our convoy. We drove south and just past the Kentucky turnoff we turned right into Glenburnie Rd.

The dirt road headed in a north westerly direcon and was in poor condion in places. However the two wheel drive cars managed to get through the rough bits and aer a while we arrived at Glenburnie Homestead. Here John managed to get direcons to Ron’s block and even Isotoma axillaris borrowed a topographical map. The track now got rougher. Thelma parked her car and climbed into the John disappeared up the mountain looking for the Leslie’s 4WD.

John thought this could have been the rare was in full flower and the bright yellow blooms really lit one but it turned out to be Pultenaea cunninghamii. up the lower slopes. Small specimens of Brachyscome stuari could be seen in peaty hollows in the rock faces. We also saw Bulbine bulbosa, sp., Diuris dendrobioides and some good specimens of Eucalyptus prava. Hardenbergia violacea snaked through the foliage. Other plants sighted on the mountain included Acacia neriifolia, A. triptera, Caesia pauciflora, Lotus australis, Podolepis, glauca and Tricoryne eliator.

We only covered a very small secon of Ron’s Granite Mountain. It would need several days to really explore the whole site.

Pultenaea cunninghamii

It is a prickly shrub with yellow and orange tones in the small pea flower. Nearby we spoed some of the local Correa reflexa var. reflexa which was not in flower at this me of the year. We slowly made our way up over the rocks looking for interesng flora but this secon was fairly typical of the western granite areas.

One plant which stood out was Isotoma axillaris. This form had blue flowers which seemed unusual - the only other form I’d seen has white flowers with a bluish nge. Thelma Dennis, Rosalind and Brian Leslie
